president obama scheduled to make a statement from the white house at 5:45 p.m. on the fiscal cliff negotiations. let's it go to amon for the latest on this. >> i think we can expect a fairly short statement from the president. i would be shocked if he took questions from the respiratories that will pack the room in just a couple minutes to hear what he has to say. senator harry reid came out and spoke to reporters on capitol hill telling them that the next 24 hours here are going to be crucial. that would imply to me that there's something in the mix on the senate side on the fiscal cliff negotiations. what that is, we'll have to find out from the president perhaps at 5:45. >> okay, we'll go back to you for that. thanks so much for keeping us updated. the question at this point is, what impact could going over the cliff have on the u.s.'s credit rating. let's bring in sean egan from egan-jones, he's on the phone tonight. if we go over the cliff, i'm assuming the credit rating agencies, other than yours, the others ones, there's a certain amount of time during wh
